Indoctrination to Hate
This collection spotlights the impact of hate violence on individuals and communities as well as how people form biases and are indoctrinated into hate groups, why they participate in violent hate crimes, and how hate may become extreme. This book details the solicitation and indoctrination of members into extremist hate groups. Using theoretical, empirical, and field studies, experts explain the psychological processes of bias formation, hate identity, and the stages of extremism, and detail first-person accounts of hate group membership and critical incidents of hate violence. Contributors draw significantly upon the current wave of reactionary political and racial intolerance witnessed in...

Liberation Sociology
Many people of all ages today continue to be attracted to sociology and other social sciences because of their promise to contribute to better political, social, and moral understandings of themselves and their social worlds-and often because they hope it will help them to build a better society. In a world of new movements and deepening economic inequality following the Great Recession, this new edition is vital. It features dozens of new examples from the latest research, with an emphasis on the next generation of liberation sociologists. The authors expand on the previous edition with the inclusion of sections on decolonisation paradigms in criminology, critical speciesism, and studies of environmental racism and environmental privilege. There is an expanded focus on participatory action research, and increased coverage of international liberation social scientists. Work by psychologists, anthropologists, theologians, historians, and others who have developed a liberation orientation for their disciplines is also updated and expanded.

It's How You Play the Game: International Perspectives on the Study of Sport
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. Sports events, participation, and sports programming in the media have come to play an outsize role in contemporary society. Global events like the Olympics or the FIFA World Cup draw billions of viewers but at the same time sports retain a distinctly local flavor. It’s How You Play the Game: International Perspectives on the Study of Sport covers an extraordinary amount of ground from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. From Egypt and Qatar to the Dominican Republic, Australia, and the US, the authors of this fascinating collection use insights drawn from Anthropology, Communication, Political Economy and Sociology to shed light on the phenomena of sports in the context of politics, identity (personal and collective), business and education, drawing out both the global and local implications of the increasing presence of sports in our lives.

Escritos sobre psicología social de la ciencia y del conocimiento
La muerte del profesor Jiménez Burillo ha dejado un poso de orfandad intelectual y personal. Ambos son los protagonistas de esta monografía. En la primera parte queda reflejada su maestría a partir de tres escritos que, a nuestro entender, conforman su particular aporte a la conformación de una epistemología psicosocial. Vista su trayectoria intelectual, no cabe duda de que esa fue su verdadera vocación: sentar las bases, remontándose a los pensadores de la Grecia clásica, de una psicología social de la ciencia y del conocimiento. Lo hizo a su estilo: a regañadientes, de manera dispersa y minimalista. Lástima, porque reunía todas las condiciones (sólido bagaje filosófico, socio...
SIDA
Hablamos de una enfermedad cargada de creencias erróneas que ha creado una fractura social, en cuanto que ha sido un instrumento de estigmatización de determinados grupos de personas, confusamente denominados grupos de riesgo. De una enfermedad que ha matado a millones de personas a lo largo de tres décadas y cuyas cifras de contagio en la actualidad son estremecedoras: se habla de aproximadamente 33 millones de personas seropositivas, de los que más de 22 millones se encuentran en el continente africano. De una enfermedad que se ha revelado de extrema complejidad y que exige análisis y actuaciones multidisciplinares de aumento de la cantidad y calidad de la información, de cambio de a...
Psicología y derechos humanos
¿Por qué no se cumplen los derechos humanos incluso allí donde están reconocidos jurídicamente? ¿Cómo podemos favorecer su implantación en las conciencias y las vidas de la gente? Las respuestas no son sencillas porque las propias realidades en las que se trata de instaurar los derechos humanos tampoco lo son. El problema que entrañan tales derechos fundamentales sólo podrá ser resuelto mediante el conocimiento de las causas y los procesos que en cada situación inducen a determinadas personas, grupos o instituciones a vulnerar o promover esos derechos. Por otra parte, las condiciones sociales que favorecen los actuales retrocesos y avances en materia de derechos humanos en el mun...
